I have been waiting to hear this much anticipated collaboration with J. Cole and TLC. Well today the RocNation artist dropped the gem. The song is called: Crooked Smile, and I’m telling ya’ll this is that music I been missing. Check it out, and you can pre-order his upcoming album Born Sinner, which is due out 6/18.

Man here is one from the vault of director Lionel C. Martin, TLC’s original unreleased video of their #1 hit, Creep. Check out the video…then take a trip back down memory lane and watch the one that was released. Just watching this video takes me back to that real rnb music in the 90’s. People forget that this was the all time selling female group in history…and check out their style. Oh well, Also be on the look out for TLC’s biopic movie coming soon.

Tyrese does it again. Fresh off of his brand new deal as a member of TGT, with Tank & Ginuwine, the r/b crooner gives us another true to form r/b visual from his latest album: Open Invitation, with the song, Best of Me. The singer enlisted the help of America’s Next Top Model winner, Eva Marcelle (season 3). The Matt Alonzo directed video captures the words of the song very nicely. See this is what I’m talking about when it comes to making videos…they don’t all have to be symbolic where you need a degree in videography just to understand the concept, if the song talking about love display that…lol. (Hint Chris Brown-Don’t Judge Me is the latest victim).

Wow between this video with the lovely Eva, and the Nothing On You video featuring Chilli, Tyrese also get points for choosing correctly with his co-stars to bring that chemistry together.

Natina Reed of the 90’s group, Blaque has passed away this morning in Atlanta according to several reports. Natina was the spitfire of the group (rapper), and also an actress. She starred along side Gabrielle Union in the original Bring It On movie. This tragedy takes place on the eve of her 33rd birthday.

Right now details are sketchy at what happened, but reports are saying that it was a possible hit & run that caused the untimely death of Natina. She does leave behind one child, a 10yr. old son, by rapper Kurupt, formely of Tha Dogg Pound.

It’s so funny how things go…I was at an event in Atlanta that Blaque hosted in memory of TLC’s Lisa “LeftEye” Lopes (the founder of the group Blaque), and actually got to see Natina & Brandy.

The year was 1997, and Lil Kim gathered together some of the hottest female mc’s in the game: Left Eye (R.I.P.), Da Brat, Missy Elliot, & Angie Martinez, for her joint, Ladies Night. With the return of Missy Elliot to the game, (her new singles 9th Inning, & Triple Threat), I decided that I would dedicate this throwback Thursday to the ladies.

Also check out one of my favorite female groups of all time, TLC..with their multi-platinum album, Crazy, Sexy, Cool, these women definitely represented! Check out “Creep” and if we could only have another group that could bring even a 1/3 of what T-Boz, Chilli, & Left Eye gave us.

And one more favorite female collaboration, that proves when you get the best together, hits can be made, that become classics. That brings me to Brandy’s “I Wanna Be Down (remix)”…that boasted MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, & YoYo.

April 25th, commemorated the 10yr. anniversary of the sudden death of Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and I still have a hard time expressing what she meant to the world, and more specifically as a sister to Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas.

Well now that we have all seen the “resurrection” of Tupac, using the hologram at Coachella, TLC will do the same thing for Lisa. The top selling female group is planning a reunion tour for this year, with 5 cities already being booked.

“Left Eye was killed 10 years ago today in a fatal car accident in Honduras. “The word anniversary means a celebration. For us her death will never be a celebration, it’s still something that hurts,” said T-Boz, while Chilli added, “Lisa is our sister. You never get over losing a family member. We love her and we miss her and that isn’t ever going to change.”To commemorate the 20th anniversary of TLC, the surviving members are working with VH1 on a made-for-TV movie series inspired by their story as well as a new album.“We’ll have new music right after the movie drops,” Chilli told Essence. “We have everybody that was there with us from the beginning on board.” (via RAP-UP)

As a long-time TLC fan, (I have everything they have ever sold..lol), I pray that this tour comes near me. I’m definitely trying to be in the house. Just knowing that Tionne & Chilli will once again take the stage with Lisa, is worth every dime of it’s price.
